TOOL-HANDLE OILER.

Application filed January 3, 1920.

Idaho, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tool-Handle Oilers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an oiler for tool handles and the like and has thefollowing objects; to provide means for saturating a tool handle with oil; to provide a cylinder adapted to be placed in the end or" tool handles; to provide means for attaching the cylindrical container in the end portions of the handle so as not to cause the operator any inconvenience.

ln the drawings:

Figure l is a fragmentary elevation of a tool handle showing the top portion in section equipped with my invention.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of my invention. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken through the oil container and Fig. el is a section taken on the line 4 4 Y ot Fig. 3.

By referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, it will be seen that l indicates the tool handle which is provided in its free end with the longitudinally extending cylindrical opening 2 so as to receive the oil containing cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 has the annular iiange -l situated upon its upper edge. This flange 4 is provided for resting upon the end-ot' the handle l and is provided 'with apertures to receive the screws 5 for tirmly holding the cylinder within the opening 2. The cylinder 3 is closed at the' bottom and is perforated with a plurality of openings 6. These openings 6 are compara- 40 tively small so as to allow the oil to slowly drip into the openings 2.

Adjacent the open end otn the cylinder 3 there are situated threads for receiving the cap 7 which acts as a closure to the said open end. By referring especially to Fig. l of the drawing it will be seen that the opening 2 is longer and has a greater diameter thanthe cylinder 3 so as to allow the oil to come into contact and saturate the interior portions of the handle.

From the above description it will be seen that simple and etlicient means have been Specification of Letters Patent.

provided which may be used with a tool handle constructed of wood so as to saturate said handle with oil for preserving same. It will also be seen that a device ot' this nature has been produced which will operate without causing any inconvenience to those who may be operating the tool handle.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire Letters Patent pon is l. In combination with a tool handle provided at its free end with a longitudinally extending cylindrical opening, a cylinder t'or containing oil adapted to be inserted in said cylindrical opening so as to leave a space between said cylinder and the walls of said opening', said cylinder provided with a plurality of apertures in its side walls, means for closing one end of said cylinder and means provided for attaching said cylinder to said tool handle.

.ln combination with a tool handle provided at its freeend with a longitudinally extending cylindrical opening, a cylinder for 'containing oil provided with a plurality of apertures in its sidewalls adapted to be situated within said cylindrical opening so as to allow a space between said cylinder and the side walls of said cylindrical opening, a closure provided integrally with the side walls at the inserted end ot' said cylinder.y a removable closure provided at the other end of said cylinder and means provided for attaching said cylinder to said handle.

3. In combination with a tool handle provided at its free end with a longitudinally extending cylindrical opening, a cylinder lor containing oil adagte'd to be inserted within said opening so as to allow a space `between said cylinder and the side walls of said cylindrical openings, a screw threaded cap provided for closing one end of said cylinder, andmeans provided for lattaching said cylinder to said handle.

4t. ln combination with a tool handle provided at its free end with a longitudinally extending cylindrical opening, a cylinder having a closed end for containing oil and provided with a plurality of apertures in its side wall and adapted to extend in said cylindrical opening so as to allow a space between said cylinder and the side walls ol said cylindrical opening, a screw threaded In testimony whereof I aix my signature cap provided for closing the open end of in presence of two Witnesses. said cylinder and an annular flange pro- Y videdY upon the open edge` of said cylinder WALTER VILSGN and adapted to extend at right angles there- /Vitnesses:
